Door trim panels assembly

Place the completed door assembly onto a flat surface suitably covered so that you do not scratch your outside faces. Take door handle inner t0123/4 and drill out the hole marked for the wiper handle to come through. Drill out this hole 35mm in diameter. Rest the door handle on top of the door inner frame and on top of that rest the door inners TO116/7.

Position the door handle onto the inner frame using the door inner as a guide to get the correct position for the door handle. It may be necessary to file the door winder hole to obtain the correct position for the door inner handle.

Once the correct position has been found with a equal gap around between the door inner and the door handle attach the door handle to the door inner frame using six number 8 posse drive 10mm long self tapping screws. The door inner handle covers up one of the adjusting nuts for the small adjusting channel for the wider mechanism. Drill out the door inner handle approximately 25mm in diameter to allow access to this nut.

Attach one end of door pool wire t0516 to the door latch using door pull connector T0524. This can be attached by looping the wire through the DOOR latch and then joining it together with the door pull connector. Place the door pool wire over the top of the door handle in the position shown on the drawing and mark the positions of the holes required to allow the door pool wire to pass through the door handle and act as the operating wire for the latch.

Drill suitable clearance holes in the door handle and pass the wire through the door handle and attach at the other side with door pool connector T0524. Using a suitable tool i.e.; screwdriver operate the latch at the end of the door and open the door with the door pull to obtain the correct tension on the door pool wire.

The door inner panel TO116/7 can now be attached to the door outer shell. Drill out the holes in the inner panel with a 5mm drill. Place the panel over the door in the correct position and drill through the inner panel to the door and the door handle inner with a 3.5mm drill. Attach the door inner panel to the door and the door handle using number 8 self-tapping screws.

Where the self-tapping screws go through the door spire clips have beers provided to provide extra security for the inner panel.
